I hope Lakey sells more books than Scholes & Neville put together (both have got there books out soon). Somehow I doubt it sadly.

A smell: Half-time maxipak of crisps (Benson's, I think?) that were saltier than the Dead Sea A sound: Mad woman in H Block who used to shout 'C'mon City' in a very, very loud falsetto

Good point, but I think Mr H is far too much of a gentleman to ever contemplate dishing the dirt. That said, I'd love to read a fly-on-the-wall account of the grubby Swales era, though...

Never mind the players, Mancini is going to be the key. Spurs and Villa have had a little dip in form but I think 'Arry and O'Neill will be able to rally their troops. We're not playing well at a really important stage of the season. Only Bobby Manc's man-management will be the difference...

Not to switch off in 90 minutes (Micah Richards) Although I do think he's getting back on track ...

Mal's Maison

Bloody hell, you've done well to wade through that one...never quite 'got' James Joyce, meself. My most recent read: The Outcasts by Sadie Jones. A wonderful debut novel.

Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow: The Steve Coppell Story

My Manc accent pet hates (I'm a Manc, btw...) 1) "Gerrit" and "gorrit" 2) "I fahhhrt" instead of "I thought". USE YOUR TONGUE. 3) "Mother's Plied"/"bledclumbs" 4) "Int it" That said, all the above probably result from lazy speech rather than a particular dialect. There's a misconception that...

I listened too. I don't have an issue with Ian Cheeseman - he's a decent commentator and a lifelong Blue to boot - but, I agree, Nigel Gleghorn is a poor pundit. He's not the most eloquent chap and sounded downright miserable for most of the match today. And his references to "Manchester...

The author's weasel words...

Not a player, but "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" by Soft Cell sums up Steve Coppell's glorious reign...

Missed Again (Phil Collins) - Lee Bradbury

Neil Midgely, gone but not forgotten. Fabulous referee (did a grand job in the 5-1, 1989!) and a nicer man you could not meet. RIP.

Agree with this, although IMO too much emphasis on Eire/Roy Keane shenanigans. Would have liked to have read a bit more about his days at Maine Road.

To be fair, I think they should have quit while they were ahead, i.e. late 1990s. They were never, ever going to better albums one and two. Noel can now concentrate on solo career (he'll be great, I reckon) and Liam can continue with his paparazzi-abusing and fashion designing. Sad day. Fond...

I remember feeling mightily pissed off when Garry Flitcroft got sold to Blackburn. One of our best players at that time, yet offloaded to offset our huge overdraft. I look back at those grim days of financial woe and thank the lord for ADUG...

"You can't polish a turd." Never fails to make me smile.
